Analysis of factors associated with malaria was adjusted by the following variables: participant gender, participant occupation, age of the household head, wealth index, LLIN use, use of other preventive measures, outdoor sleeping, presence of stagnant water outside the house, presence of stagnant water inside the house, type of house. Goodness of fit test: Hosmer–Lemeshow, chi²(5) = 4.46, p = 0.4849. BIC = − 972.891, AIC = 1.089, AUC = 0.7921
